Stapp will release his latest album in 2024
Grammy-winning, platinum-certified artist Scott Stapp reconnects with a “Higher Power” on his new single, from his forthcoming album with Napalm Records. Born during the dark and difficult isolation of quarantine, “Higher Power” is a propulsive track that turns the singer’s own near-death experiences into an acknowledgment of grace.
“Life’s mysteries can be unraveled by listening to one’s inner voice,” Stapp shares. “For me, that means leaning on my faith in God and listening to His voice to guide me through the struggles and darkness. For others, whether it’s through art, nature, science, family, or a combination of all, tapping into a higher power is an individualized process that requires an open mind and a willingness to flow with a force that’s greater than the individual.”
Stapp will release his fourth solo album, Higher Power on March 15, 2024, before the iconic frontman returns to the stage with Creed for the first time in ten years. His upcoming ten-track triumph turns the rocker’s experiences on the razor’s edge into an acknowledgment of grace. Higher Power follows 2019’s The Space Between the Shadows, which debuted at No. 3 on the US Current Rock Albums chart, the US Current Hard Music Albums chart, and the UK Official Rock and Metal Chart, among countless other top chart positions.
On an album that traverses themes of loss, frustration, betrayal and near defeat, Higher Power features stand-out performances by hard rock queen Dorothy on a deeply raw duet and, throughout the album, Yiannis Papadopoulos’ guitar leads and solos are such invaluable contributions that he is credited as a featured artist on three tracks. There is also a co-writing appearance by multi-Grammy Award-winning songwriter and musician Steve McEwan, which was produced by Marti Frederiksen and Scott Stevens, with co-production by Stapp.
